ABOUT SIMON
Edinburgh Based Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker
My name is Simon Hird, and I am a wedding photographer and filmmaker based in Edinburgh, Scotland. However, I am often found working all over the UK. Having documented 150+ weddings, I’ve realised that my love for wedding photography is in documenting the real, unplanned, and emotion-filled moments. I am always practicing the subtle art of noticing – looking out for the little details and stories of the day that you might miss. Then, when those big moments come, I document them in an artful & beautiful way that you will be longing to have printed on the wall.
I know wedding planning can be a mix of exciting and daunting, but I’m always here to help. Whether that is to share advice, recommend suppliers or be a helping hand in whatever way I can. I pride myself in being more than just a photographer on the day – nothing is ever too much trouble. I’m so happy to muck in, whether it’s moving tables, putting buttonholes on the groomsmen or getting that extra photo of you and your best friend that you’ve not seen for ages! I’m there to make sure your day is relaxed and documented beautifully.
Kind words From Sydney & Andrew
“I’ve been to a few weddings and it’s rare to encounter a photographer who feels so intrinsically and effortlessly part of the wedding as Simon was throughout ours. He started the day with us as a friendly face and left feeling like a guest! Simon’s creative ability is phenomenal and my Husband and I were so so blown away with what he produced. The day really seemed to come alive again and was captured so authentically to who we are and the tone of our wedding! Simon, we can’t thank you enough for capturing our day so wonderfully, you were an asset to us and have such a genuine heart for the couples you capture!”
